*7.5* Dutch Cemetery Kochi: only 6 minutes away! (1,450 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Zostel Kochi – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Well maintained hostel.. Host is friendly and helpful.. facilities are good enough..

Nekshusx, India

The manager and all peoples were really friendly and helpful . The ambience was great and the rooftop was also great . Loved the stay there .

Sutirtha, India

Good value for money in the Fort Kochi area. Hostel is within walking distance of the Chinese fishing nets and shopping streets. The private room was comfortable overall for a short stay; A/C is a must in Fort Kochi. Staff were helpful to find me some ice for my eye after a bad mosquito reaction.

Christy, United States of America

Great hostel. I think one of the best in India. Definitely the spot to be in Kochi. Specially the air conditioning.

The place is perfect for the backpackers! Location, facilities, everything is just great.

Alina, Bulgaria

Location of the Zostel itself is a little inside and a bit confusing while going for the first time. But it is central to all the touristy spots in Fort Kochi, and Id definitely rate it an A. The staff are extremely friendly and you won't have any issues with getting details about stay or travel.

“Don't give Zostel your money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Deluxe Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
After staying at Zostel in Allepey and having a great experience, I expected that Kochi would be as good, especially because I was paying way more for a private room. When I asked why it's so much more expensive, I was told because it's better and more 'luxurious', but I would like to say that it isn't better and I'm not satisfied with how much I paid for what they offered. Also it was very difficult communicating with them ahead of my arrival about their charging my credit card... They didn't seem to understand basic questions and sent me way too many emails about nothing, never having answered my simple question. The private bathroom for the room was gross and the toilet runs all the time, making noises all day/night and leaving water etc. on the floor. In general, the room was the storage room and the bathroom was grimy and not as nice or clean as I expected or was paying for (and compared to Alleppey). The 'luxury' that makes this room more expensive I'm told is the TV, which doesn't work. Eventually I was given some movie options but they didn't work well either. This is also an issue because Zostel's cancellation or change policy is so horrible that they hold guests accountable to no refunds or changes to dates, but they're not providing what we think we're paying for. I work in hospitality so I understand standards and this is not good standards. Perhaps most importantly, on my first night I did not feel safe - I had an unpleasant experience with an apparent local guy who was hanging out with friends on the roof - he should not have been there. He kept trying to touch me at one point in the stairwell as I looked for a communal washroom (there isn't one), he pulled me down the stairs whilst grabbing me and put me in front of a rather disgusting washroom in some back room. I closed the door on him and took a breath and then ran out fast and away from him as he followed me.

Such a lovely hostel! Friendly and helpful staff, lots of nice communal spaces, rooftop to do yoga in the morning. The rooms were clean, air-conditioned and so quiet & peaceful, giving you such a good night's sleep (which is always a pleasant surprise in a dorm room... they even had proper soft duvets and pillows!) Nice hostel to meet people but also to do your own thing. :)

What was disappointing is the room itself - not the best value for money. We got a “deluxe” room, quite pricey for India, which was quite tiny, there was no view or natural light, and above all - the bathroom was quite dirty when we arrived. Loads of hairs on the shower head which suggests that the cleaners use the same cloth for the floor and everything else... the tiles were not clean either...
The staff was super friendly and helpful, which was great! The venue has a very good vibe. The room decor was cozy and romantic

The previous Zostels I've been to had me on high expectations but boy was I thoroughly disappointed. The room was small and suffocating, the bathroom was below average along with a few leaks. Common area on the terrace was fine. Only positive was the fluffy mattress. But terrible in every other aspect.
Mattress. About it.
